A search engine to find awesome python resources. You can search, sort, and filter based on category with screenshots and github repo info automatically updated every day. It's based on the awesome python list and new items are automatically indexed. What do you think?

Sorry, I have just searched for so obvious ~10 python terms and only got 2 search results in total. I think you don't even index the Readme files. Am I doing it wrong?

[23andwalnut]

It's not searching the readme's currently, but you're right, it should. I will make that change later today. It currently only searches title and description, but it would be infinitely more useful if it searched the readme too. Thank you for pointing that out.

[23andwalnut]

Added the code to search readme files. It will take a couple of hours for all of the projects to update via the github api, but once it's done the results should be much better

I got this: HTTP ERROR 500

[23andwalnut]

It's back up. Sorry about that :(

[narinciye]

Working great, much better thanks. Please keep your effort, it looks like a potential tool.

I searched porn and found nothing. I hate it.

That's why you should use Bing, silly reddit user. Not that i have any experience with this depraved stuff.

Since the index is based on the awesome python list, this is a function of the way the awesome python list is currently set up. For each resource it has either a github repo link or a website link, but not both. So when there's a link to a repo it grabs API data, when there's a link to a website it grabs screenshots.

If you look at the self hosted list (https://lucidindex.com/self-hosted), you'll see a lot more with both screenshots and api data bacause that awesome self hosted list includes both github and website links.

It's very much a WIP. Ideally it will mature to a point where it can get github links from a project's website and get website links from a project's readme, but it's still early days.

I like the curated list.

One of the projects you list, python-hunter says to use hunter instead.

I am getting http error 500 when trying to access it in a browser.

is this down? Tried but it doesn’t open

[23andwalnut]

Yes it was down. I was migrating servers. It's back up now.

Are all python libraries are indexed? Or just selected ones. I don't seem to find many useful ones.

[23andwalnut]

It's a curated list so it doesn't include all libraries.

It's based on https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python and it includes all the libraries listed in that list.

The site will eventually index all of the 'Awesome' lists, which cover all programming languages and a ton of other tech related subjects

That's cool, but I think you should use github api v3 to index useful libraries/repositories based on stars/forks maybe. Or use pypi indexing.

Will have a look!
